A bit more than one year after Oolite v1.82, we are pleased to announce All Systems Go for proceeding with the release of the next stable version of the game, tagged 1.84. As of today, June 20th, we are entering the first stage of our release cycle by initiating full feature freeze on the Oolite master repository. From this point onwards and until the release of version 1.84, only bug fixes and documentation updates are accepted in trunk. Any pending pull requests are also frozen until further notice.

We currently expect to release version 1.84 within approximately one month, provided no blocking bugs surface and no unforseen obstacles occur in the meantime. The version numbers have been already switched on github and nightly builds will be reporting 1.84 as their version starting with tonight's one. Please feel free to download and test nightlies exhaustively - right now the nightly builds represent our release candidates.
